well NetworkManager seems to be of no good.so i uninstalled it (temporarily)
and decided to do it the hard way.
After uninstalling NM and rebooting i issued few commands. the output is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

Clearly route command displayed nothing and eth0 was also down
so i did this*
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 10.138.0.124 netmask 255.255.254.0 up
[sudo] password for ankur:

*After that as suggested by Sharad*
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo route add default gw 10.10.1.2 eth0
SIOCADDRT: No such process
*but now "route -n" shows this*
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ route -n

route command showed some error I dont know what it mean. also it made some
entry in routing table which is not correct. how to correct it.
Thanks
